The problem with this is that it's difficult to determine which  
packages on one's own system have updated. One must check individually  
for each atom in world.


Harry:

I'm not sure if it's possible _without_ syncing, but you can `cp -a / 
usr/portage /usr/portage.orig`, sync, `emerge -pv world` and then move  
the original tree back if you want to.

It's not really clear why you're asking, or why you're unable to sync.  
If the PC has no internet connection, for instance, security updates  
are unimportant.
